algorithms determining your pay: good for lyft & uber, bad for drivers. they are literally judging our lowest price point & offering us the least money possible per ride. it’s a spiral downward for our pay - we need pay regulation that is fair. https://t.co/6n3pyqF1XP
If a "union" has Uber's blessing, it should tell every driver & real unionist that the bill is a set up and they should fight it with all they have. @SEIU drivers aren't less worthy of democratic unionism than other workers. How dare you enter our industry just to sell us out.
What a terrible choice @dnc to give Uber's counsel who defends a biz model that's left millions of workers in poverty cover as some voice-of-the-voiceless ordinary family member. Who's the "all of us" he thinks is worth fighting for bc it sure isn't the drivers he exploits.
Name the last Republican-appointed Labor Secretary to even mention the words "wage theft." Yeah, I can't either. Julie Su has spent a lifetime fighting against companies stealing worker wages. One of the many, many reasons why this election matters SO much
Workers are voting in favor of unionizing at the highest rate in 15 years.
So far this year workers have voted in favor of unionizing 74% of the time.

Proud to endorse the Community Transit Act! It may be the FIRST of its kind--a citizen-led ballot initiative to tax Uber/Lyft/Waymo to fund public transit. People Power! 🔥🔥🔥 Please support & share! @veenadubal@nicoemoe@DriversSf@LorenaSGonzalez@lyoshki@TheSoulCab
Uber challenged a CA labor law that makes it harder to deny workers basic wage/benefits guarantees bc they felt the law picked on them. They lost at the 9th circuit. This is very important. Now let’s overturn Prop 22 that unfairly advantages the companies. https://t.co/S6H0mkOWhy
Critical moment: courts confirm AB5, helping stop CA misclassification that has cost workers millions every year. Next critical moment: CA Supreme Court must overturn Prop 22. @_drivers_united
Challenges to Prop 22 will be heard in the CA Supreme Court next week! If it is overturned we will have our full labor rights back - but we need regulation of pay to ensure fair rates that are enforceable by the state. We think this simple regulation will move us forward! /1
Uber is full-on bullying the community of Minneapolis against good regulation that will ensure fair pay for app drivers. For some reason this Mayor is buying it. We wrote a letter to support the Council to override that veto. https://t.co/1hrV271Nrq

Why has the price of an @Uber ride gone 📈?
Our new research reveals a story of gaslighting and corporate greed that squeezes drivers and riders alike, while funneling our money to banks and billionaires: https://t.co/ajxRb7jxZH

Way to go EU! Enforce! And no fake independent contracting! The EU will make the companies prove they don’t control things like wages and don’t manage workers! @_drivers_united
CPUC is selling out California to tech. They approved limitless AVs in SF when the whole city was against it. Now when the rest of the state-AG, Labor Commish, & 3 cities-are suing LyftUber for unpaid wages, CPUC just agreed to put the fox in the henhouse. /1 @_drivers_united
"Drivers are protesting ... poor wages and rapidly shrinking transparency in how the companies pay drivers their share of earnings.
Proposition 22 ... has hurt drivers, said Nicole Moore, a driver and the president of Rideshare Drivers United"

1. TODAY thousands of drivers for @Uber and @Lyft are going on strike, demanding better pay in working conditions.
The companies say the drivers are compensated fairly, with @Uber claiming its drivers are paid $33 per "utilized hour"
This is BS

ITS TIME FOR A BREAK UP DRIVERS - Rideshare Drivers across the country are mobilizing on Valentines Day 2024 to send the biggest breakup message in gig-history.
Uber pays drivers according to what they believe our lowest pay point is, driving our wages lower & lower. This is exactly why uber is claiming profits for the first year..& why drivers around the country are striking 2/14. @_drivers_united#strikeuberlyft https://t.co/iUkOhtoGbk
